Brief Answer:
antibiotics course will be required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
If gargling from 3 4 days have not helped then it could be upper respiratory tract infection which is not resolving on its own.
Usually if it would have been viral fever like it would be regressing on its own by now. As it is not I suspect it might be bacterial infection.
Continue gargling twice a day either with betadine or potassium permanganate.
Start antibiotic Azithromycin 500mg once a day after food for 3 days.
You can get it over counter in XXXXXXX or you can obtain prescription from your doctor.
Eat only hot food and drinks. No oily foods at all. Drink milk mixed with turmeric (haldi). It acts as antibiotic locally.
For body ache and headache take Dolo tablet 650 mg twice a day after food.
I hope with this advice you will be fine in 2 to 3 days.
If you have any further query kindly write back to me.
Thank you
